Co- rymbs ample, terminal, many-flowered; the peduncles and pedicels and calyx clothed with short, rusty-colored, glandular hairs. Calyx small, four-lobed, the lobes spreading. Corolla pale, but rather full yellow, subglobose, but flattened, as it were, above and below, slightly pubescent; the lips firmly closed; the upper one-third the size of the lower, and much compressed. Stamens and pistil as in the allied species.

Our gardens abound in Calceolaria from Chili and extra- tropical South America; but very few are known alive in this country from the tropical regions of the New World. The present handsome species is from the environs of Quito, where, it was gathered by Lobb, Mr. Veitch's South American col- lector, and sent to him in 1843. It flowered in Mr. Veitch's establishment at Exeter in September, 1844, whence the spe- cimen here figured was communicated. Although from within the tropics, and almost under the Line, yet, the city itself of Quito being at an elevation of 11,000 feet above the level of the sea, this will probably prove a suitable plant for the greenhouse, and perhaps may flourish in the open air in the summer months, where it cannot fail to be highly ornamental; and we should be thankful if it do not share the fate of the Chilian species, which are so hybridized, that the original native kinds are wholly lost to our gardens, and are to be found only in the Herbarium.
